In today's episode, I speak with Joel Rainwater. Among the many topics we address, we cover the IndieWeb, the necessity for curiosity in the tech industry, working in the open, intentionally being un-hireable, and not being defined by job titles. We touch on the doors opened by the fact that JavaScript is everywhere. On ramping to TypeScript, the power of community, why you should blog, and tons of other great topics and advice.

Joel, in his own words

Joel is a self-taught developer who has gone from building basic HTML-&-CSS-only websites to being the fractional CTO of a startup and a lot in between.
